Also, in random notes. My Broward county library newsletter informs me that as a senior I get free NYT access. I subscribe anyway, but thought that was a nice perk.
Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am at the venue, although no one has recognized me yet; I blame the mask.
The urge to watch'n'post is damn near irresistible.
Is anyone else trying to livestream? It went for about 25 seconds with a lovely picture of JZ, and now that is all that is there.
Nevermind! I fou d it in the comments below.
There are so many people here I haven't seen in over a decade. Everyone looks awesome
Nora and I are watching, we missed the first bit. Everyone looks so great. The stories are so lovely. It is amazing to see beloved people talk live that I haven’t for years. Everyone so is perfectly themself.
Plei, tell Tickybox the vest looked great.
I don't know why I spend so much time trying to anticipate how I'll feel about things. I'm not right very often. It was a lot of emotion for me...I didn't handle it very...neatly, I guess. But I'm glad I did get to share my feeling with JZ, before.
I watched as much as I could live. I was up at Mom's because E was visiting... I actually ended up sitting on the couch watching with my earbuds on surrounded by my family and confusing them when I occasionally laughed out loud. They understood the tears more.
But then I had to say good bye and we had to come home (and there is spotty internet connection on the way home). When I checked in again Matilda was speaking. I'm going to watch the rest later. Matilda is very much the child of her parents.
Nora and I went back and watched the slide show. David had just started talking when we had to leave for dinner. I assembled a JZ-inspired outfit in a few minutes to wear in her honor.
It was lovely to see everyone; I'm sorry that I'm having to skip dinner, but my brain is just *done*.
I got to hug Emmett but did not get a chance to introduce myself to EM. I was very, very glad she was there, though.
Too many feelings to process right now, but I'm ok. It's just been a lot.
